The fastest way to add a new Form is to clone the default layout. When a new form layout is created, the layout design is completely customizable, and can include any combination of elements from a default list, or select from a list of existing elements. This provides the ability to create highly customized data entry forms.

To Clone a Form:

  1. Click Designer > Data > Objects > {object} > Forms
  2. Click the [Clone Layout] button.
    Display this form when
    Required
    Display the Form when any the selected actions are taken on a record in the Object
    • Add Record
    • View Record
    • Update Record
    Display Criteria
    Required
    Create a Filter Expression to define when this Form is displayed
    • If the expression resolves to TRUE, the Layout is displayed
    • If the expression resolves to FALSE,the Default Layout is displayed
    Click the [Check Syntax] button to verify that the expression is formatted correctly
  3. Click [Save]

To Edit a Cloned Form:

  1. Click Designer > Data > Objects > {object} > Forms
